"He is not picking up," Luke said looking at Sarah as his face contorted."Don't look at me like that," she blurted. "I am not the one who's not picking your call." She added blinking at him.He rolled his eyes at her and slapped his hand against his desk. He was still at home when he called the first time and Benson didn't pick up because he was busy. Now, Luke was already at work and Benson wasn't there yet. It had been more than an hour since he said he was on his way. "Ugh," Luke sustained a grunt, drumming his fingers on the table. "Where could he have gone to now? He never could help but stray…" Sarah asked kneading her temple with a finger. "I wish I knew… We have to tell him," Luke gesticulated. "If this will work, we have to tell him as soon as possible and time is not on our side.""Try him again," Sarah said, curling her fingers into a fist and gritting her teeth. Luke nodded and dialed Benson again. He heard the phone ring outside the door to his office and raised his

71As Benson sat on a chair in front of the counter, he started digesting all he had discovered from Luke.He only sat by the counter when he knew he would get drunk on strong alcohol. He needed to wash off the sudden hatred and anger that coursed through his veins as 'Gemini' was the only word in his head as he drove to the bar.He knew he was being set up but he hadn't thought about who could set him up. He had asked the question a hundred times in his head but never thought about an answer.He ordered a shot of whiskey and after swallowing greedily, he pressed his lips together and gritted his teeth.I have never cared about the competition… I just did my best and earned myself a seat at the top.He ruffled his fingers through his hair and spread his palms on the counter. His expression sank and droplets of sweat appeared on his temples as he twisted his jaw in utter confusion as to why Perry Clarkson would go as dirty and desperately cruel as drugs and murder to wreck him when all

“She is not staff here? What do you mean she is not staff here?” Martha exclaimed, contorting her face and squinting her eyes at her partner. “Nobody recognizes her and we’ve been through every staff record and talked to all of them too. None of them fit the very blurry shot we have of her,” he shrugged and held his waist. “It is obvious she is an outsider that came in to look like a nurse here so she can have access to the slab room.”She stood up from the chair and drummed her fingers on her desk, setting her gaze straight ahead at nothing. She raised her face to him, staring at him expectantly. Ge shrugged and looked away.“Fuck,” Martha splayed her hands in the air in frustration. She tightened her jaw and ruffled her fingers through her hair. “We have to have something on her. This cannot be a dead end. They always make a mistake. We just have to find hers.”“Why did she come the first time? I mean, we know the second time was to do all that to Ana and leave a souvenir.”“She kn

73"That was a win," Sarah gave Luke a sultry smile."Stop that," he whined. "We can't do that here," he said and waved his hands in the air, looking about his office."What…" she raised her brow, pretending not to know what he was talking about. "I'm just excited that we have a win, at least," she rolled her eyes sashaying as she walked up to him after locking the door."What is what? You just locked us in here and you are looking at me like that," he said sizing her up. "Don't act like you don't know what you're doing," he added."Well, smart ass, I am excited like I said and I can't but nail this moment with something more exciting," she whined, gesturing as she spoke."You are insane," he muttered as he backed away from her."You're driving," she hissed and exhaled. "I love it when you run away like that. It just makes this more enjoyable.""Oh my god, Sarah, stop," he stretched his hands in front of him when his back touched the wall and he realized there was nowhere to go and hi

75Martha stared keenly at her computer screen as she sat on her bed, keeping the laptop on her lap.She had collected all the tapes from the hospital and the station so she can watch them again and try to figure out who the con artist is. She had watched the tapes over and over again and was still watching them.John had convinced her to take a break while he did all the necessary work so she stayed at home. But she couldn't really rest or even sleep as her mind bugged her with a thousand questions to which she had no answers."There's got to be something here," she whispered as she squinted her eyes while rewinding the tapes from the hospital back to the beginning.After watching everything from start to finish and still not getting anything, she gingerly tossed the laptop to the side of the bed and threw her head backward so that she would lie on her back on the bed.She had been married before but her husband was murdered.

"Would you let me take the car?" Alita blinked at Benson as she pulled away from him. "Right now, you can take whatever you want and it wouldn't matter as long as you are as happy as you make me," Benson muttered. She smirked and wrapped her hands around her neck. She pulled him closer, raised her heels, and kissed him as her body mashed against his. She pulled her face from his and said, "Thanks... you make me happy, BA.""Same, Alita," he smiled after cupping her face in his hand. "You can take whatever you want in my life as long as you are mine through and through," he peered into her eyes and pecked her head, then pressed her head to his chest. She fit perfectly under his jaw. "I love you, Benson Astor," she muttered in a moan. "I love you too," he said in a rasp."I want to stay here and hug you all day but I have to go see my mum now if we are going to that party that I dread so much," she said as she listened to his heartbeat."You dread it?" He asked, pulling out of the h

77As Martha walked back to the car, she brought out the phone and examined it."How did she get this?" She asked herself and then raised her head to John who was already standing by the car. "It's Ana's," she added."What the hell? How come we didn't get this amongst her belongings? How does she have it?" John shook his head side to side as he flickered the phone in his hand, looking straight at Martha."I have no idea. Don't look at me like that," she raised her chin and entered the car."This just keeps getting more interesting. I feel like we can land a big one with this one," he said as he sat in the driver's seat after opening the door."It feels bigger and shadier than what meets the eyes," she said and pursed her lips. "And she is rooting for Mr. Astor," she nodded."Actually," John said keeping his eyes on the road."You think she actually saw her?" Martha said, pale-faced as she turned to look at John."We don't really know for sure. We still don't know her angle in this so
